Field notes

What locals say about San Jose tattoo shops

Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in San Jose.

“Got a tragus piercing here by Adrien. He was very reassuring as it was one of my firsts. He made it so painless and easy and the price was fair! After going to another shop I realized how awesome Players ink really is, will definitely be going back to get pierced in the future. Only thing is, I wish their prices were displayed more clearly online.”
